Once Upon a Tail, Kids Zoo Ball gives children the opportunity to help San Antonio Zoo in securing a future for wildlife. By participating in the Jungle Contest, children are supporting the zoo and its world-class animal care and conservation programs. The boy and girl who raise the most funds will be crowned King and Queen of the Jungle, ride on a 2023 Zoo Fiesta float, and have their photo prominently displayed at the zoo entrance and at the animal habitat of their choosing. Runners up will join the Jungle Court and have their photos displayed at the zoo entrance. All fundraisers are eligible to earn “Milestone Prizes” and enjoy unique zoo experiences.
